why would there be less armor? Do we know for sure that gear with + stats on it has 20% less armor on it or something? Is there a reason why an AoR guardian cannot switch to AoD if and when needed?

i just finished some top down tactical group mission. WTF was that that was fucking horrible why is that even in the game let alone part of the main quest.

So that they can say in interviews, "We have an RTS quest in our game OMFG next gen!"

If you thought that was bad, there are more lame quests waiting for you in the following acts. Hai2u carrying train parts (3 times no less!) followed by the quest that bugs your entire character, preventing you from finishing the game!

Oh god that was bad (the train parts). Absolutely retarded time sink. They should have at least had mobs spawn on top of you while you were carrying it back to turn in.

I will say that I thought the 4 quests/mini-games in act 5 were fun to do and well done. They all played perfectly without bugs which was surprising. They should really look into making those into a pvp arena system.

The worst quest ever was using that gun to clear out the boils from the street. God I hated that. I'd knock the game an entire point just for that tedious quest.

You know what made that fun for me? I had (5) 3 star items drop from the boils. I was like "hell yes, loot pinata time!"

Nah the worst was the CIS/Fist RTS one in beta

What's the main quest-line bug? I'm at the third part of the four part challenges quest (and just can't kill fast enough as a BM to cap the fifth part).

[leane]

The RTS one was pretty easy, just had to clear to the boss and sacrifice a squad to draw all the little spawn away so I could single out the boss with the next squad, then its just clearing yard trash.

Friend got a Unique breastplate off a lvl 30 mob with +15 to all stats, +20 willpower and +8 stamina.

If you leave Exodus (the final level in Act 4, the one where you clear the train tracks) prior to defeating the boss, the ONLY way back in is to party port to someone that's currently inside and has not killed the boss yet. Good fucking luck finding someone like that, especially with 130+ different chat channels and most people having the chat window closed when they play.

If you want to save on will useage, don't use any mods above one star. Mods eat up enormous amounts of willpower, especially legendary mods, and mods with +elemental% dmg.

My Mace is full of legendary +dmg% mods and it's already at 88 will for a lvl 23 usable weapon. If I had put +element% dmg mods instead it'd be aroudn 120 Willpower for just that one weapon.

Even easier, right at the beginning just start clicking to move your guys all the way to the boss. Once you reach there (just your camera, the squad will be way at the beginning still) throw down air strikes until you catch the boss on fire. For whatever reason, once ignited he burns til he dies. The portal appears, you click it and finish (the squad doesn't have to move to it, they will still be near the beginning). Depending how long it takes to ignite the boss, you can finish the thing in like 15-30s every time.

Anybody out there already given up on this game and want to shoot me their account info so one of my friends can check this game out with me?

'That' is what the whole subscription thing is about. Sure, maybe FFS will fail to deliver content that is worth the $10, but people are totally perceiving this whole issue the wrong way. They're doing the monthly fee because they want to update the game regularly, and can't do that if they're not making a profit off it.

Remember how often D2 got updated? Yeah.

I don't mind paying for content. But all I want is HC mode. HC mode isn't content.

Until they fix spawn nodes in the later acts, believe me when I say you don't want HC mode.

As an aside, I was just billed four times in two days for my subscription, at 10$ apiece. There's a 15-page thread about it on the official forums. Canceling as a stopgap measure doesn't work because it turns off subscription content automatically rather than giving you the rest of the month you paid for like every other title in existence.

As soon as I fix this, the game is getting shelved for six months while FSS figures out what the fuck.

Man what a load of bullshit. Probably a way to get people to pay for the lifetime sub.
